It was a mere week since Founder’s Day, and Ayrn Mordan Valyar, Sovereign Monarch, King of Thylica returned to Stagfell, triumphant in victory over the forest dragon which had taken up residence, along with its plundered treasure. He knew a speech would be needed to help calm the population. The Lizardfolk most effected were far easier to calm the humans that were the bulk of Stagfell’s population. Lizardfolk have a simpler outlook on life, death, and security. Their biggest disappointment was not getting to feast upon the dragon immediately. However, they were happy to know the meat would be preserved, and once Miki had the hide intact, they would have their feast to honor their dead.

Aryn had talked with Vern, and the Duke of Varnhold was willing to take over the duties of Magister for the Kingdom. Oleg Leveton had long expressed interest in setting aside the day to day operations of the treasury as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Now, if Barry Morgan was willing to change roles, he could take on that role, Vern would step into his duties, and Oleg could at last retire back to his trading post cum trading settlement.

Baroness Svetlana Leveton too had come to want a rest after 6 years of service as first Counselor then as Prime Minster of Parliament. Gone were they early days when she could know so many of the citizens directly. She missed the intimacy of the old days and was less excited by the needs of running Parliament. Most importantly, as she is nearing 30, she is ready to start a family. She had already approached Angela Thornberry about serving. Countess Thornberry was as new to nobility as the Levetons, but older. She came as a new widow as one of the early settlers 6 years ago, and build a thriving business on wine, brewing and distillation. Her sons mostly run the business, and Angela is a good candidate as she, too, comes from common stock.

All of this meant Ayrn had to schedule several meetings to set the changes in motion, as well as act to calm the population. A speech would be a good start. And more building was always good. Something about expansion and construction seemed to make the people feel good about the future, especially city walls.

Ayrn went straight to his private office to meet with Bernon Woolyn, his personal Secretary, and detailed the meetings he set up, starting with the Magister Morgan, and then the Levetons. He had already spoken with Vern in the forest.
